but i love the health bar how you how to keep fighting to keep it on the other players side omg i wish they had tht in 2k9 why cant ea and 2k just become one they would be a good team 2ks fighting and ea's reality
there just like sock em rock em robots lol the game looked amazing on xbox 360 and ps3 but pc fighting engine seemed better about thing that did look better though lol
when i play 08 nobody will ever fight with me unless i am playing with somebody that has a 70 or so toughness and the computer has a guy with a 90 something toughness. it sucks my enforcers never fight
yea i no i no fighting in 08 is just taping i hope theres actualy a way to do upercuts and stuf the pros do like pul the jersey over ther head lol but i dout thats gona b in it
Or, if you have a 360 controller for Windows, both the fighting and gameplay are superior on the PC. Not to mention the boosted graphics if your computer doesn't suck, which mine doesn't. Take that you console bastards.
doesn't freeze in game for me - only problem i have is if i don't save after every dynasty match - it can freeze when i sim days or whatever to get onto the next game. the fighting game isn't the greatest but satisfying when you win them online.
My friends and I played this game in a party last week and we laughed se hard when we were fighting. We just punched eachother until the refs ended the fight. To me nhl 07 is better.
for the ps3 nhl 08. i am about 20 games into my dynasty and have fighting on maximum...for some fucked up reason i have not had one fight yet!! i push triangle and it doesnt do anything and no one has ever altercate anything with me...hell i even created joey kocur and put him on the rangers! its fucking pissing me off...20 games and not one fight!! and i have checked the game rules and all that and its set to maximum...anyone know whats goin on?? please let me know
this is bullshit, you think the fighting would be amazing considering what they did with the rest of the game, the fight on NHL 2004 was way better than this. in most of the other old ones, goalies can fight too...doesnt look that way on this.
I NEVER HAVE HEAVYWIEGHT FIGHTS! i got the game sunday and i had like 6 fights scence.... but they were weird! like !!!Wade redden vs Maxim Afinogenov!!!! non fighters FIGHT WTF!!!! but i did DESTROY crosby BIG TIME i injured him lol with parros i was holy shit that looked real!
Fights were much better on NHL 06... NHL 08 360's fights look like Wayne Gretzky's 99 3D Hockey, where the players just stood there one in front of another until one of the two fell on his butt :s
WTF?! how you get that game. The NHL 08 I know and I have it has the same graphic as 07.... Wait i know! You were using the PS2 emulator and played NHL 08. NHL 08 on PS2 has got better graphic
is there goalie fights? i havnt seen them in a game for a while, maybe i just havent tried hard anough to get one haha how u make the goalies mad and get a fight?
looks like nhl 2003
